Huff in the running?

I have seen his name thrown around too... Im not sure about the fit there though.
Just my opinion, but Huff should probably have his eyes on an ACC or SEC job based on his background, recruiting base, etc... One place that might be a phenomenal fit should it come open -- Virginia.

He was at Penn State as an assistant longer than any other school on his resume. I actually think the B10 and MSU would be a good fit.
Agree he’s be a natural somewhere in the SEC, though.
MSU is such a dumpster fire with all the off field shenanigans. The Indiana job will also be open and is a much less demanding position.
Agreed.... but the tragic shootings at UVA last year have bought Elliot a couple more years!
I hope he’s in the running at the end of this season as that will mean he did a great job this season. No big program is gonna hire a G5 coach if he were to go 8-4 or 9-3 this season here.
I'd take a replacement who can promise a good QB and WR will follow him to Marshall. Lol
Ill take a good QB just to see how good our WR's actually are!
Very true but Indiana is tough, tough job. More often than not it is a career killer. Sparty is a disaster right now but the upside in East Lansing would be tempting.
No one turns them down as that is life changing money, even if you get fired after a few years. Worst case he’d get fired and become an “analyst” in the Nick Saban rehab program that keeps spitting out head coaches that get a second chance.
Very difficult to win there as you noted but it takes 5 years for the natives to get restless and if you can go 6-6 every year they'll name a street after you.
That's if money is your motivator. If you want to continue to build your career and be one of the greatest you don't take just any job because it's a pay raise. Huff comes off like someone that wants to be a successful HC. Not just seeking a bag.
Now can he be that. Who knows, but any P5 that is a historical below average program is nit a smart career move.
